Hai everyone,

My Nvidia 2 MX 32 mb, with detanator XP on my os installed won’t load the subsystem from opengl. I first get a console, then a black screen, an then this message appears in the console:

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I used here quake 3 Arena demo, but he gives the error with every opengl game. How can I fix this?

I’m very curious if anyone can help with this problem because I have the same problem but then with medal of honour AA.

I got win xp
geforce2
1.4gig
256sdram
40mb hd

what should I do?I’m new to opengl and wasn’t aware that my machine had a problem with this.but I can’t load the game because " can’t open/find opengl subsystem" comes up in the console.

is there a download available?

where,what,how and why???

hi,back again!

I fixed it in the simplest way possible.

-open internet explorer
-go to tools
-sellect “windows update”
-check for latest updates
-install those found

I automaticly got the latest drivers this way which solved the problem.

I do have another problem no and that is that I can only play multiplayer games because the single player game crashes in the 1st mission(after succesfully completing the training)when the first shot is fired.

I don’t expect a fix for that here and I will ask it on the mohaa site self but if someone reads this and knows the awnser they are welcome to share that info

Cheers

I’ve got it. Open win.ini in the directory c:/windows Then search for the key DVA=0 and make it DVA=1 worked to me

any problems i have had with open gl were fixed by downloading detonator driver from nvidia.com
